Confidential this Saturday

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

From WWE.com:

 

 

Vince McMahon shocked the world of sports entertainment when he announced that Eric Bischoff was the new general manager for RAW. This Saturday on Confidential, we'll take a look at the career of Bischoff -- from his start in the American Wrestling Association to World Championship Wrestling to his present day role in WWE.

 

 

He will also be on Byte this on Friday.

That should be very interesting.

[Guest Gendo]

I hope they put that WCW tape library to good use and show him screwing with the WWF back in that day. It would be good to see some of that stuff all over again.

[Guest DokDoyle]

How would they have AWA stuff. Dosen't the Gagne's still own the footage for those PPV's and ESPN CLassic shows

[Guest bob_barron]

They def have to show the 3 superkicks footage and Tony giving away Foley winning the belt

They have to do this if they really want this angle to work. Having said that I don't think too many people will be watching it.

[Guest mach7]

I'll have to set my VCR for this one. I'm gonna miss it - but am also curious to see how they put their tape library to use.

[Guest Flyboy]

NOOOOOO!!

 

What about the Torrie Wilson story.. PART 2~?!

 

What about... Linda Miles against Bradshaw!

 

DAMNIT!

[Guest razazteca]

is the whole show going be Eric Bischoff, This is your career or is going to be split up into the usual WWE Cribs, Divas, main story?

[Guest Flyboy]

I think they'll split it, but.. who knows? *shrugs*

[Guest converge241]

id love to see a montage of all those non-spoiler giveaways.

 

too bad they cant AWA stuff we could see the "turkey on a pole match"

[Guest TestKick]

They'll still have the Torrie Wilson junk in there... Confidential has always saved time for that garbage.

 

I'll watch this week. I just they focus on Bischoff's entire career, and not base most of it on how WWF kicked his ass in the end.

[Guest Razor Roman]

Even if they can't SHOW AWA stuff, I'm sure they can interview some guys who worked with him at the time.

[Guest LesnarLunatic]

Yeah.... who worked with Bisch in the late AWA?

 

Slaughter.. DDP... who else?

[Guest Cubbie78]

"How would they have AWA stuff. Dosen't the Gagne's still own the footage for those PPV's and ESPN CLassic shows "

 

I saw a WWF video where they showed a Midnight Rockers match that aired opn the old espn awa show...

[Guest Army Eye]

Cool. I haven't been watching much Confidential but I'll have to catch this one.

[Guest RickyChosyu]

Yay, more revisionist history from confidential. While Bischoff did have seem interesting ideas and had a hand in influencing wrestling, the way the WWE takes this stuff, butchers it so it fits what they're trying to do, and then tries to pass it off as some kind of shoot interview is really quite ridiculous. The fact that they had Michaels go on there and lie his ass off about Montreal just so people could be suprised when he returned pretty much sent the show into the crapper, for me. But then again, looks like most people still look forward to watching it, pick your poison, I guess.

 

And to whoever referenced them giving away Foley's title win: that was long after Bischoff had dropped the "give away Raw Spoilers" deal and as Foley said in his book, was a total failure in every sense of the word, managing to cause tons of people to switch over to Raw and kill Tony's credibility from that point forward.
